Which CPU should I get?

[AWF]

I want this CPU for gaming/streaming/making videos. I have a few choices to choose from and I want this to last a while. Money is not really an issue here I just want the best CPU for my uses. Also if you could explain why I should get which one would be great. Here are my options..

Option A - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116901

Option B - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899

Option C - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504

If you are going to stream/make vids, I would go with the I7 all the way 😀

The i7 has alot of potential that nothing seems to use apart from video/editing and streaming but if it was just for gaming then i would go with the i5 4670k. unless you plan to stream alot or video edit then i would highly recommend the i5 as its processing power will actually be used but because you said you want to edit and stream then the i7 is a clear winner

i5 4670(K) is ideal for gaming !

If money is not an issue. The i7 is the best choice out of the bunch, but you might want to look at the older six core i7's with a view to overclock if you need performance and power now. Alternatively wait for the next gen of intel chips, one of which is rumoured to have 8 cores.

more cores dosent mean higher performance, amd has had 8 core CPU's for a good year

Actually I agree with you I have a 8350 and my buddy out performs me on streaming on 4770k

It does when it's an intel chip. Not going to argue here, more cores usually = lower clock speed and thus gaming performance but if you're streaming and gaming, more processors are welcome, and AMD is the better choice for streamers because of those extra CPU cores.
